Hey did you see my old time used to be
Did you talk to is she ask for me
Is she have a red dress on
was she all alone
Or was she holdin' hand with another man
Went to a house for show
Talk to the lady next door
And she told me she only dance no more
Oh can't you see that was wrong with me
I feel so bad I'm livin' in misery
So if you happen see my old time used to be
Please bring her home or send her C O D
Hey did you see my old time used to be
Did you talk to is she ask for me
Is she have a red dress on
Was she all alone
I wont she holdin' hand with another man
Oh can't you see that was wrong with me
I feel so bad I'm livin' in misery
So if you happen see my old time used to be
First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway to to left, then you sway to the right
Step around the floor, kind of nice and light
You twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round and bring 'em back
That's what I call, "Ballin' the Jack"
First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway to the left, then you sway to the right
Step around the floor, kind of nice and light
You twist around and twist around with all your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way 'round and bring 'em back

[Instrumental]
Hey little school girl, I want you for myself
Hey little school girl, I want you for myself

I travelled to the East, travelled to the West,
Now I found the girl that I love the best
Hey little school girl, are you going my way

Dream awhile, scheme awhile, we're here to find
Happiness and I guess, all those things you've always pined for.
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby,
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby,
Bells will be ringing
The glad glad news
Oh what a Christmas
To have the blues
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Oh once again
Choirs will be singing
"Silent Night"
Christmas carols
By the candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas
By New Year's night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas
Christmas my dear
The time of year
To be with the one you love
So won't you tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's
Will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
Cause I'll be happy
Happy once again
Oh no more sorrow
No grief and pain
Cause I'll be happy
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleigh'n song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright
Yes, Adam was happy
As a man could be
Til Eve started messing
With that old apple tree
(CHORUS)
Ain't that just like a woman
Ain't that just like a woman
Ain't that just like a woman
They'll do it every time
You can buy a woman clothes
Give her money on the side
No matter what you do
She's never satisfied
(CHORUS)
Marie Antoinette watched
Those cats at the gate
Then cried in French
Said, let em eat cake
(CHORUS)
Yes, Adam was happy
As a man could be
Til Eve started messing
With that old apple tree
(CHORUS)
You can buy a woman clothes
Give her money on the side
No matter what you do
They're never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman
Yes, that's just like a woman
Ain't that just like a woman
I got a lazy woman
She's to lazy to eat
She's the same ol' woman
Used to sneak around the sneaky peak
Aha I know it aha she told it
When she wiggel she wabbel
When she wabbel she wiggel
She remind me of a great big boat
Thrown up'n down the river
Aha I know it aha she shows it
I know a girl named Sue
She remind me of you
Don't be smilin' in my face
I may be talkin' about you
Aha I know it aha she told it
I went to see her doctor
I knew something was wrong
The doctor told me son
Don't you know your eyesight's gone
No no no baby, I will never go away
No no no baby, I will never go away
'Cause when I married, I married you to stay
It ain't no sense for me to run around
It ain't no sense for me to run around
That's why I said I will never leave the town
[Instrumental]
Things are nice as we are doing fine
Yeah things are nice as we are doing fine
We're gonna be together for a long long time
When I was young and in my prime
The girls used to hold me up all the time
But I'm gettin' old every day
It's a pity that now I ain't gettin' any!
So la la la la...
La la la la la...
They used to call me their Lover Man
But what they call me now is a dirty shame
If I could live my life all over again
I'd never pass the age of ten!
So la la la la...
La la la la la...
You heard my strong, I sung my song
Believe me nobody wants you when your youth is gone
So take my advice as a friend
When your youth is gone, that's the end!
So la la la la...
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.
I've got a brand new baby
Man she's really fine
I've got a brand new baby
And man, she's really fine
I love my baby
'Cause she know how to see good time
Early in the morning
I love to hear her call my name
Early in the morning
I love to hear her call my name
She's gotta new brand of lovin'
And I swear it's not the same
She don't bad to dancin'
And she don't care 'bout movie show
She don't bad to dancin'
And she don't care 'bout movie show
She just love her daddy
Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be
Oh sailor boy, my heart's been broke before
Every time you fellas hit the shore
Oh sailor boy, your ship will sail at dawn
Please please, leave my girl alone
Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be
Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
I'm so alone, please let her be
Oh sailor boy, my heart's been broke before
Every time you fellas hit the shore
Oh sailor boy, your ship will sail at dawn
Please please, leave my girl alone
Oh sailor boy, don't steal my girl from me
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears
In these eyes tellin' you
Am I blue
You'd be too
If each plan with your girl
Done fell through
Was a time I was her only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one
Lonely one
Was I gay
Till today
Now she's gone and we're through
Am I blue Was a time I was her only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one
Lonely one
Was I gay
Till today
Now she's gone and we're through
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All aboard"
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that sentimental journey
If you see RoseMary
Tell her I'm comin home to stay
Tell her I'm tired of travlin out here
Can't go on this way.
Every nite when I'm travlin meet a friend
Tellem I'm comin home to stay
So if you see RoseMary, tell her, tell her I'm on my way.
wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa
When I get back home I'm gonna hold RoseMary in my arms.
Don't come knockin' on my door
I don't want you round no more, no more
'Round me no more
I tell you once and I'll tell you twice
I'll find the one gonna treat me right, treat me right
Gonna treat me right.
You, you done me wrong
Stole my love and gone
I just can't go on
I just can't go on
You can go on baby, baby that's all right
I'll find the one gonna treat me right, treat me right
Gonna treat me right.
You, you done me wrong
Took my love and gone
I just can't go on
I just can't go on
You can go on baby, baby that's all right
I'll find the one gonna treat me right, treat me right
I told my friends all about you
How much I miss you and love to kiss you
I'm in love with you darlin' and I hope you love me too
Woke up this morning, I was all alone
Looked for the girl I love, but she was gone
Somebody help me, help me find the girl I love
[Instrumental]
I left my baby in California
Oh, how I cried, when she said goodbye
Somebody help me, help me find the girl I love
When I was only twelve years old
I fell in love with you, oh heart and soul
So tell me that you love me, wouldn't put no-one above me
Oh, me My love is real and it's oh so strong
I'll be loving you from, from now on
So tell me that you love me, wouldn't put no-one above me
Oh, me My love for you will never die
Even though sometimes it makes me cry
So tell me that you love me, wouldn't put no-one above me
Oh, me
[Instrumental]
My love is real and it's oh so strong
I'll be loving you from, from now on
So tell me that you love me, wouldn't put no-one above me
Oh, me My love for you will never die
Even though sometimes it makes me cry
So tell me that you love me, wouldn't put no-one above me
This is how it started
As a teenage omen
One night at a rockin' roll dance
Was a date once a week
Good night kiss on your cheek
I'll go home so happy
But my heart givin' peace
Two years i have passed her
Anything had been changed
The neighborhood be so ugly
They don't look the same
Even the playground
Where we used to play
Just around the corner
Where we used to stay
We could have been married
And a long saddle down
But you went away dear
And you couldn't be found
I ask so many people where to find you
They all say they didn't know
So If you see my baby
Tell her I Love her so
Tell her I Love her so
It was you Darlin' not I
who said we would 'part Bye and Bye
When you left I broke down and cried
And my tears just rolled from my eyes
I was more dead than alive
When you waved your last Good-Bye
Please come back Darlin' please try
'Cause my heart is bleeding inside
Please come back please come back
Oh I can't live without you you know
Change your mind and be kind
For I'm in love with you so
I was wrong and you was right
Oh I can't sleep day or night
So my Love I'm lost in this fight
Any old time
Any old time
You wanna come back home
Drop me a lie
An' I say no more you're wrong
You done me wrong
You left me all alone
But when you left me here
You only left the one who cares
You find me here
Till like the day you left me alone
Any old time
You wanna come back home
You find me here
Till like the day you left me alone
Any old time
You wanna come back home
Any old time
You wanna come back home
Drop me a lie
An' I say no more you're wrong
You done me wrong
You left me all alone
But when you left me here
You only left the one who cares
But you can find me here
Till like the day you left me alone
Any old time
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself, all alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
Well, don't you hear me callin' you?
You know I've been in love with you
Answer me, answer me, my love
I called you once before, tell me where did you go?
Baby, let me hold your hand
I wanna make you understand
Come to me, come to me, my love
I wanna make love to you under the stars above
Well, don't you hear me callin' you?
I just wanna make love to you
Answer me, answer me, my love
Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness
Every day I reminesce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
I'm gonna search the whole world over
Find me somebody somewhere
Everybody needs someone, someone to call their own
Everybody needs someone, someone to call their own
But I've got to find somebody
Can't live in this world all alone
[Instrumental]
I'm leavin' tomorrow to find the girl I'm thinkin' of
I'm leavin' tomorrow to find the girl I'm thinkin' of
I'll be so happy when I find her
'Cause she's the only one I'll love
Everybody know you left me
It's the talk of the town
I can't show my face
Can't go no place
People stop and stare
It's so hard to bear
Everybody know you left me
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
Though is just a week
Everybody know you left me
It's the talk of the town
We send out invitations
To friends and relations
Announcing our wedding day
Friends and relations gave congratulations
How can I face them?
What can I say?
Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town
We send out invitations
To friends and relations
Announcing our wedding day
Friends and relations gave congratulations
How can I face them?
What can I say?
Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
Hey pretty baby, I wanna talk with you

And I don't care what you say
I'm leavin' you Baby
And I don't care what you say
I found a little girl
Down at the hideaway
She's not feelin' ill
And she's happy every day
She's not feelin' ill
And she's happy every day
She's the same ways as when I met her
Down at the hideaway
I'm so sorry Baby
I've gotta leave you dis away
Yes, I'm so sorry Baby
I've gotta leave you dat way
I've gotta meet my little baby
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Hurrying into Spring
The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that filled the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
When that's where you left your heart
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that filled the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishing that I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
In that's where you left your heart
If there's something more, I miss the one I care for
Baby, won't you please go home?
You've been gone away so long
Oh, I'm in love
Baby, let me hold you hand
I'm gonna squeeze it as tight as I can
Oh, I'm in love
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm a savin' my lovin' and bring it all to you
I'm gonna buy me a rockin' chair
Gonna keep on rockin' 'til you come back here
Then we'll go walkin' down Lover's Lane
We'll go walkin' hand in hand
Oh, it must be love
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm a savin' my lovin' and bring it all to you
I'm gonna buy me a rockin' chair
Gonna keep on rockin' 'til you come back here
Baby, won't you please go home?
You've been gone away so long
I got a right to cry
All day I sing the blues
I'm in my lonely shoes
Could you be so unkind?
I've really lost my mind
I wonder if you care
My life is a sad affair
My heart is aching, baby
Breaking, baby
I don't know what to do
Sweetheart, all just because of you
You know you done, done me wrong
Come back where you belong
To end this reason why
I've got a right to cry
My heart is aching, baby
Breaking, baby
I don't know what to do
Sweetheart, all just because of you
You know you done me wrong
Come back where you belong
To end this reason why
If I had a wishin' ring
I wouldn't ask to be a king
I'd wish you love me like I love you
I never wish for words untold
To me you're worth much more than gold
I'd just wish you feel the same way too
I'd trade all the diamonds
For one sweet kiss from you
I wouldn't be pending
If wishes could come true
So, if I had a wishin' ring
I'd only ask for just one thing
I'd wish you love me like I love you
I'd trade all the diamonds
For one sweet kiss from you
I wouldn't be pending
If wishes could come true
If I had a wishin' ring
I'd only wish for just one thing
Hey! Fat Man
---Hey fat man hey fat man---
Hey I just get in your town

Now the dream of a life time has come true
That certain someone
And a dream came true with you
They were times
When I thought I'd found the real love
So many times my dream tell of all
Now at last I have found that certain someone
That certain someone to live within my heart
I been searchin'
I been searchin' for that someone
That certain someone to call my own
But the dream of a life time has come true
That certain someone
I'm packin' packin'

This Woman talk I took to much
I'm packin' up gonna leave this woman here
She like to cook beans without no meat
The rice she cooked is tears like grease
She irons my cloths and binds them up

Packin' up got enough

She sleeps so much she leaves track of the day
The only time she woke is when I get my pay
When I get some money shes goes downtown
Comes back callin' me all kinda clown

Sometimes she loved me sometimes she's gone
Sometimes she kissed me sometimes she won't

I'm packin' up gonna leave me this woman here
Oh yes I'm packin' up I got enough
Hello Josephine
How do you do?
Do you remember me baby
Like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me
And holler "hoo hoo hoo"
I used to walk you home
I used to hold your hand
You used to use my umbrella
Every time it rained
You used to cry so mucyh
It was a cryin' shame
You used to live over yonder
By the railroad track
When it rained you couldn't walk
I used to tote you on my back
Now ...
(something like: "you're tryin' to make believe
It was for tears like that")
Hello Josephine
How do you do?
Do you remember me baby
Like I remember you?
You used to laugh at me
Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?
Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?
You got me reeling and rocking, don't know what to do, what to do?
I want you, I need you, you got me spinning like a top
I want you, I need you, you got me spinning like a top
If you don't love me, I believe my heart will stop, it will stop
I'm crying, the sun is shining but it's raining in my heart
I'm crying, the sun is shining but it's raining in my heart
You got me reeling and rocking since you and I've been apart, been apart
Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?
Little Mary, my baby, don't you hear me callin' you?
Love is bringing me down
Love is bringing me down
That's why I'm always cryin'
You know you stayed away too long
You know you stayed away too long
It wasn't right, 'cause you know right from wrong
[Instrumental]
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't why you
always wants to make me cry
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't why you
always wants to make me cry
I've been around the world it's true
Searching for someone exactly like you
And finally I found a love that is true
Whoa, ho ho...
Nobody knows just how I feel
You had me spinning
Just like a spinning wheel
But finally I found
A love that is true
Whoa, ho ho...
You heard my story
You heard just what I said
A man without love
He might as well be dead
But finally I found
A love that is true
Whoa, ho ho...
I've been around the world it's true
Searching for someone exactly like you
And finally I found a love that is true
If I can hold out my luck is bound to change
(One of these days)
Yeah, one of these days
Bad luck been upon me and I've got to lose this blues
(One of these days)
Yeah, one of these days
Oh when you smile, the whole world will smile with you
(smile with you)
But there's no-one to cheer you when you're feelin' blue
A fortune teller told me that things would come my way
(One of these days)
Yeah, one of these days
Oh when you smile, the whole world will smile with you
(smile with you)
But there's no-one to cheer you when you're feelin' blue
A fortune teller told me that things would come my way
(One of these days)
Yeah, one of these days
Rosalie, come back to me
Rosalie, come back to me
I'm reeling and I'm rocking like a willow tree
Rosalie, come back home
Rosalie, come back home
I might as well confess, I'm blue and all alone
I can't sleep day or night
Come now, I know you're not doing me right
Please come back and try to stay
Can't go on this way
Rosalie, come back to me
I'm reeling and I'm rocking like a willow tree
Rosalie, come back to me
Rosalie, come back to me
I'm reeling and I'm rocking like a willow tree
Rosalie, come back home
Rosalie, please come home

And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph
Doin' any reindeer games
Then on foggy Christmas Eve'
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reinder
You'll go down in history

Nobody knows my trouble
Nobody seems to care
Bad luck and trouble
Follow me everywhere
Well, I went to the fortune-teller
And I had my fortune told
She said, "Son don't worry
Days will change when you grow old"
Well I held my head up high
And I started, started to cry

Days will change by and by
Well, I went to the fortune-teller

She's gonna catch the train at three
That'll be the end of me
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
Tick-tock, stop the clock

I am dreaming Dear of you, day by day
Dreaming when the skies are blue, when they're gray;
When the silvery moonlight gleams, still I wander on in
dreams,
In a land of love, it seems, just with you.
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true.
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.
Longing for you all the while, more and more
Longing for the sunny smile, I adore
Birds are singing far and near, roses blooming everywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer; you, just you
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true.
Well, I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until the broad daylight
Because I'm ready, mm-mm-mm
And I'm able, mm-mm-mm

They call, they call me the fat man

Of Rampart and Canal

Watchin' those people gather
I'm goin', I'm goin' goin' away
And I'm goin', goin' to stay
'Cause we be in this fast life

I Hear You Knocking
I Hear You Knocking
You went away and left me long time ago
Now you come back'n knockin' on my door
I hear you knockin' but you came from him
I hear you knockin' go back where you've been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you come back tellin' all those lies
I hear you knockin' but you came from him
I hear you knockin' go back where you've been
If you had a lesson long time ago
You wouldn't be goin' from door to door
I hear you knockin' but you came from him
